UK motorways are far far narrower, don't have a nice grass area between carriage ways, and have an inordinate number of lampposts/crossing power lines, which would likely ruin your day. They're also not as straight as those across the pond.
In the UK you'd likely be far safer finding a nice field next to the motorway.
